Operational Overview

Viewfield, Saskatchewan

The Company’s southeast Saskatchewan lands continue to produce monthly revenue on a royalty basis from 9 wells. Cobra owns 80% of the freehold mineral rights on these lands and has retained a non-convertible 16% gross overriding royalty held under the terms of a previous lease agreement. The Company has also entered into a multi-well farm out on 640 (480 net) acres in the Viewfield area with a commitment to drill two 1-mile horizontal Bakken wells subject to a gross overriding royalty of 20%.

Pembina, Alberta

At Pembina, the Company has earned a 27% working interest in 2 natural gas wells and is receiving production revenue from 1 well with 1 well pending recompletion. The Company has subsequently earned a 40% net working interest in 4,200 acres where an additional 10-12 drill targets have been identified and are being evaluated for future development.
Alderson, Alberta

In the Alderson area, the Company has obtained a 50% net working interest in 320 acres of land. A 3D program has been completed by a third party at no cost to Cobra. The evaluation by this 3D seismic seems to indicate the presence of a large high anomaly, which has the potential for a new oil pool. The anomaly is offset by a smaller anomaly that produced 98,000 barrels from depths of only 900 meters. Cobra holds a 25% working interest in the existing lands and 3D seismic.

Willesden Green, Alberta

The first of two locations has now been drilled in the Willesden Green area. The wellbore encountered 5 meters of net oil pay including 1 meter of conglomerate. The well has now been cased, perforated and fracture stimulated. Following the fracing, the well flowed oil to surface from 2,100 meters, however, the well has now been shut in to allow for pressure build-up data to be acquired. Following this acquisition of data, it is anticipated that the well will be tied into a nearby pipeline and put into production. The Company has acquired an 80% working interest ownership in this oil well, subject to applicable royalties.

Iosegun, Alberta

The Company has acquired the oil and natural gas rights to the Nisku zone and plans to re-enter an existing oil well that was abandoned in the 1980’s with historical production of between 20 and 30 bbls/d of light oil. The surface audit of the existing well site has been completed by the current owner of the wellbore and Cobra has vetted this environmental audit and is fully satisfied that no environmental liabilities exist with the old well site. The potential re-entry is anticipated to re-establish the production of approximately 20-30 barrels of light oil per day that existed when the well was abandoned in the 1980’s. Cobra owns a 20% working interest in 160 acres (32 net acres) but may earn additional percentages by farm-in from the current owners.

Valhalla, Alberta

The Company has entered into an agreement to acquire a 20% working interest in one section of land in the Valhalla area. The section shows several interesting sands that have high natural gas readings identified during drilling of an old abandoned well. The Company has identified several natural gas zones which correlate to nearby natural gas wells drilled to the Bluesky-Gething formation that produced between 1 Bcf and 2.5 Bcf in offset wells. Also of interest is the shallower Paddy-Cadotte sand package that produced over 3.8 Bcf in a nearby wellbore. This land acquisition is anticipated to close soon and once acquired, a location has been identified for winter drilling in Cobra’s 2009 budget. The Company will also have the option to earn an additional 30% interest for a total 50% working interest in this section of land. Initial production rates for the offset Bluesky well were 1.5 mmcf/d, while the Paddy production rates were over 4 mmcf/d for the first year in a well 2 miles to the south of these lands.

Morinville area, Alberta

During the year ended November 30, 2008, the Company acquired a 40% net working interest in one section of land over a 5 year crown lease.

Inga Area, N.E. British Columbia

The Company holds 640 (480 net) acres of crown leased land underlying a significant structure in this area. Cobra’s net working interest is 75%, and additional seismic structures are being reviewed with the intent to accumulate a larger land position in the prospect area. The Company is awaiting results from some Montney horizontal wells drilled in the immediate vicinity of its Inga play. Upon analysis, the decision to drill a vertical or horizontal Montney natural gas well will be made along with the conclusion of current efforts to increase the land base in the offsetting acreage. Three Montney wells are to be released and a land sale is taking place prior to that release. Once data on the wells is available, the Company will decide on the depth to be drilled and the type of completion to be used. Cobra is in discussion with other landholders in the area for pooling and participation in a possible Montney well.

Reserves

Cobra has filed all required information and reports relating to reserve data and other oil and natural gas information for the financial year ended November 30, 2008, as required pursuant to National Instrument 51-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities. Copies of these documents may be obtained electronically from SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Summary

Cobra Venture had a successful year and achieved many of the goals set out by management. Despite the current challenging economic environment, Cobra remains well financed with no debt and positive working capital. The Company is unique in that the majority of its revenues are derived from overriding royalty interests which require no capital outlay and no ongoing maintenance costs. This allows Cobra to continue to build its cash balance while effectively timing the deployment of capital into new projects.
